About this listen

She should write it all down in a novel, but even by the standards of the present day, no one would believe it.

Hampshire, England, 1804. Fredericka Swinglehurst, singular, warm and witty, returns home after 11 years in London, determined to lead a quiet life. But fate has other ideas.

When the body of a pregnant woman is found in the grounds of the rectory, Freddy is drawn into a mystery involving murder, slavery, and the theft of a famous diamond.

But who among old friends and new can Freddy trust? And will her heart guide her right or lead her astray?

Rather than go into details, I'm going to say this idea, in the end, I found poorly executed, requiring too much suspension of disbelief. Became a chore to get through it.
